Having witnessed first hand the poor treatment and neglect of mental health patients, I urge the government to increase funding for mental health services. This could ensure proper facilities in mental health units, including better bed and shower facilities. Additionally, I think patients should have access to more activities that keep them engaged and stimulated, rather than being told to stay in their rooms and sleep when they are unable to.
